Developing #AnalogueFilm - #PhotoNegatives using #Caffienol - coffee based photo developer.
#Recipe we used yesterday is in photos with detailed AltText.

We did 1 batch for 1 minute. 2nd batch was 1.5 minutes. I think if we left it for 2 minutes, we'd see better contrasts in the negatives. The photo negative samples from both experimental batches are below.

Every attendee had their portrait taken at the workshop. Photography was done by Suzi & Joshua. We developed the film negatives on site, right after.

We learned how to prep & load #AnalogueFilm onto silver plates with a portable #darkroom bag. I love #HandsOnLearning workshops. I learn best by practicing what is taught with some instructors' guidance.

Everyone who attended, loved the workshop.
